KDE character encoding probs

I upgraded a few days ago from ubuntu breezy 5.10 to dapper, I am using Gnome but also some KDE apps. The problem is that KDE doesn't seems to recognize filenames written in Greek -UTF-8 or ISO-8859-7-.
Amarok cannot play or edit a song with a greek filename giving the "File does not exist" error, no matter if the file is located in a fat32 mounted partition or in my home folder, and same goes for Krusader. It can read correctly greek mp3 tags though.
Is there something I can do? I can't understand if this is a dapper configuration bug or a KDE 3.5.2 one. With breezy however, I hadn't such problems with the same settings so it must be something that changed after the upgrade.
Could reinstalling every KDE software solve this?

Maybe "kcontrol: WARNING: KLocale: trying to look up "" in catalog. Fix the program
